Environments is a feature that allows you to deploy the same project to multiple places under multiple names. These environments are utilized with the --env
or -e
flag on wrangler build
, wrangler preview
, and wrangler publish
.
"top level configuration" refers to the configuration values you specify at the top of your wrangler.toml
"environment configuration" refers to the configuration values you specify under an [env.name]
in your wrangler.toml
Here is an example wrangler.toml
to illustrate
# top level configruation
type = "webpack"
name = "my-worker-dev"
account_id = "12345678901234567890"
zone_id = "09876543210987654321"
route = "dev.example.com/*"
workers_dev = false
# environment configuration
[env.staging]
name = "my-worker-staging"
route = "staging.example.com/*"
# environment configuration
[env.production]
name = "my-worker"
route = "example.com/*"
The most common use case for environments is deploying to a staging subdomain before your production environment. wrangler publish
will look at your top level configuration, and you can specify other environments beneath it. Each of these environments will inherit the values from the top level configuration if they are not specified, with the following caveats.
type
will always be inherited from the top-level configuration; you cannot specify different types for different environments.- Fields that can be inherited from the top level are
account_id
,zone_id
,workers_dev
, andwebpack_config
.kv_namespaces
androute
must be defined for each environment and will not be inherited. name
is inherited. If left out of the environment configuration, a Worker project namedmy-worker
with an environment[env.dev]
would becomemy-worker-dev
.
This wrangler.toml
has no environments defined and will publish my-worker
to example.com/*
type = "webpack"
name = "my-worker"
account_id = "12345678901234567890"
zone_id = "09876543210987654321"
route = "example.com/*"
workers_dev = false # this field specifies that the worker should not be deployed to workers.dev
$ wrangler publish
✨ Built successfully, built project size is 523 bytes.
✨ Successfully published your script to example.com/*
This wrangler.toml
has no environments defined and will publish my-worker
to my-worker.<your-subdomain>.workers.dev
type = "webpack"
name = "my-worker"
account_id = "12345678901234567890"
workers_dev = true # this field specifies that the worker should be deployed to workers.dev
$ wrangler publish
✨ Built successfully, built project size is 523 bytes.
✨ Successfully published your script to https://my-worker.<your-subdomain>.workers.dev
This wrangler.toml
adds two environments to the base case.
type = "webpack"
name = "my-worker-dev"
account_id = "12345678901234567890"
zone_id = "09876543210987654321"
route = "dev.example.com/*"
workers_dev = false
[env.staging]
name = "my-worker-staging"
route = "staging.example.com/*"
[env.production]
name = "my-worker"
route = "example.com/*"
In order to use environments with this configuration, you can pass the name of the environment via the --env
flag.
With this configuration, Wrangler will behave in the following manner:
$ wrangler publish
✨ Built successfully, built project size is 523 bytes.
✨ Successfully published your script to dev.example.com/*
$ wrangler publish --env staging
✨ Built successfully, built project size is 523 bytes.
✨ Successfully published your script to staging.example.com/*
$ wrangler publish --env production
✨ Built successfully, built project size is 523 bytes.
✨ Successfully published your script to example.com/*
In order to deploy your code to workers.dev, you must include workers_dev = true
in the desired environment. Your wrangler.toml
may look like this:
name = "my-worker"
type = "webpack"
account_id = "12345678901234567890"
zone_id = "09876543210987654321"
route = "example.com/*"
workers_dev = false
[env.staging]
workers_dev = true
With this configuration, Wrangler will behave in the following manner:
$ wrangler publish
✨ Built successfully, built project size is 523 bytes.
✨ Successfully published your script to example.com/*
$ wrangler publish --env staging
✨ Built successfully, built project size is 523 bytes.
✨ Successfully published your script to https://my-worker-staging.<your-subdomain>.workers.dev
If you only want to deploy to workers.dev you can configure Wrangler like so:
name = "my-worker-dev"
type = "webpack"
account_id = "12345678901234567890"
workers_dev = true
[env.production]
name = "my-worker"
[env.staging]
name = "my-worker-staging"
With this configuration, Wrangler will behave in the following manner:
$ wrangler publish
✨ Built successfully, built project size is 523 bytes.
✨ Successfully published your script to https://my-worker-dev.<your-subdomain>.workers.dev
$ wrangler publish --env staging
✨ Built successfully, built project size is 523 bytes.
✨ Successfully published your script to https://my-worker-staging.<your-subdomain>.workers.dev
$ wrangler publish --env production
✨ Built successfully, built project size is 523 bytes.
✨ Successfully published your script to https://my-worker.<your-subdomain>.workers.dev
You can specify different webpack configurations for different environments.
name = "my-worker-dev"
type = "webpack"
account_id = "12345678901234567890"
workers_dev = true
webpack_config = "webpack.dev.js"
[env.production]
name = "my-worker"
webpack_config = "webpack.config.js"
[env.staging]
name = "my-worker-staging"
Your default wrangler build
, wrangler preview
, and wrangler publish
commands will all build with webpack.dev.js
, as will wrangler build -e staging
, wrangler preview -e staging
, and wrangler publish -e staging
. wrangler build -e production
, wrangler preview -e production
, and wrangler publish -e production
would all use your webpack.config.js
file.
You can specify different kv namespaces for different environments.
name = "my-worker"
type = "webpack"
account_id = "12345678901234567890"
workers_dev = true
kv-namespaces = [
{ binding = "KV", id = "06779da6940b431db6e566b4846d64db" }
]
[env.production]
kv-namespaces = [
{ binding = "KV", id = "bd46d6484b665e6bd134b0496ad97760" }
]
You cannot specify a type for each environment, type must be specified at the top level of your wrangler.toml
.
name = "my-worker"
type = "webpack"
account_id = "12345678901234567890"
zone_id = "09876543210987654321"
route = "example.com/*"
workers_dev = true
[env.staging]
type = "rust"
Wrangler will not error with this configuration, it will build with the webpack
type.
You cannot specify multiple environments with the same name. If this were allowed, publishing each environment would overwrite your previously deployed worker, and the behavior would not be clear.
name = "my-worker"
type = "webpack"
account_id = "12345678901234567890"
zone_id = "09876543210987654321"
route = "example.com/*"
workers_dev = false
[env.staging]
name = "my-worker"
workers_dev = true
$ wrangler publish
Error: ⚠️ Each name in your `wrangler.toml` must be unique, this name is duplicated: my-worker
$ wrangler publish --env staging
Error: ⚠️ Each name in your `wrangler.toml` must be unique, this name is duplicated: my-worker
name = "my-worker"
type = "webpack"
account_id = "12345678901234567890"
zone_id = "09876543210987654321"
route = "example.com/*
You will be warned if workers_dev
is left out of the top level configuration because if it is not specified, it is unclear what the behavior of wrangler publish
should be. See the section on backwards compatibility for more information.
$ wrangler publish
⚠️ Please specify the workers_dev boolean in the top level of your wrangler.toml.
⚠️ If you do not add workers_dev, this command may act unexpectedly in v1.5.0. Please see https://github.com/cloudflare/wrangler/blob/master/docs/content/environments.md for more information.
✨ Built successfully, built project size is 517 bytes.
✨ Successfully published your script.
✨ Success! Your worker was successfully published. You can view it at https://my-worker.<your-subdomain>.workers.dev
name = "my-worker"
type = "webpack"
account_id = "12345678901234567890"
zone_id = "09876543210987654321"
route = "example.com/*"
workers_dev = true
[env.staging]
workers_dev = true
route = "staging.example.com/*"
Wrangler will fail to publish to an environment where route
is defined alongside workers_dev = true
.
$ wrangler publish
Error: ⚠️ Your environment should only include `workers_dev` or `route`. If you are trying to publish to workers.dev, remove `route` from your wrangler.toml, if you are trying to publish to your own domain, remove `workers_dev`.
$ wrangler publish --env staging
Error: ⚠️ Your environment should only include `workers_dev` or `route`. If you are trying to publish to workers.dev, remove `route` from your wrangler.toml, if you are trying to publish to your own domain, remove `workers_dev`.
Legacy wrangler.toml
files will still work as expected during the initial rollout of this feature, however you will notice warnings when your configuration is ambigious. One of the goals of environments is to make it more obvious when you are deploying to a traditional worker with routes, and when you are deploying to a subdomain on workers.dev.
A wrangler.toml
before this release looks like this:
name = "my-worker"
type = "webpack"
account_id = "12345678901234567890"
zone_id = "09876543210987654321"
private = false
route = "example.com/*
With this configuration, Wrangler will behave in the following manner:
$ wrangler publish
⚠️ The `private` field is deprecated; please use `workers_dev` to toggle between publishing to your workers.dev subdomain and your own domain.
⚠️ Please specify the workers_dev boolean in the top level of your wrangler.toml.
⚠️ If you do not add workers_dev, this command may act unexpectedly in v1.5.0. Please see https://github.com/cloudflare/wrangler/blob/master/docs/content/environments.md for more information.
✨ Built successfully, built project size is 523 bytes.
✨ Successfully published your script to https://my-worker.<your-subdomain>.workers.dev
$ wrangler publish --release
⚠️ --release will be deprecated.
⚠️ The `private` field is deprecated; please use `workers_dev` to toggle between publishing to your workers.dev subdomain and your own domain.
⚠️ Please specify the workers_dev boolean in the top level of your wrangler.toml.
⚠️ If you do not add workers_dev, this command may act unexpectedly in v1.5.0. Please see https://github.com/cloudflare/wrangler/blob/master/docs/content/environments.md for more information.
✨ Built successfully, built project size is 523 bytes.
✨ Successfully published your script to example.com/*
This backwards compatibility is the reason that a warning is thrown if workers_dev
is not specified at the top of wrangler.toml
.
It is important to note that both of these commands will issue a deprecation warning. To remove these warnings, you can configure Wrangler with the workers_dev
boolean to separate deploys to workers.dev from deploys to workers routes.
